The FCC is full speed ahead with its BPL (Broadband over Powerline)
rule-making, and the U.S. Air Force is looking to spend billions now on
replacement communications systems, as the use of HF radio will no
longer be possible. Some studies have even predicted that interference
problems will go all the way into the aircraft VHF navigation and voice
bands. "Certainly, the end of LORAN and marine DGPS is at hand" said
William C. Brodie, Air Force Director of Communications.

FCC Commissioner Abernathy says that BPL will be "Broadband
Nirvana." The military is trained to adapt, and they will adapt to
consumer needs.
